Fergus Cafe in Glen Eira

Lovely staff, fast service and good food

We are regular customers and really like your coffee, but the weekend staff have TWICE messed up our coffee order, which never happened during weekdays. Unfortunate we didn’t realised it until we drove off. Really disappointing. Please double check orders with your customers.

Best croissants around, great coffee as well.

Hi. I walked past this morning 3/09/22 with my dog, the gentleman at the front counter saw me but didn’t come out and say if you were dog friendly or not or if I could sit out the front, made eye contact but no friendly smile like the usual locally owned cafes.Being ever so hungry, I took my dog home, and thought I would go and try out Furgus and dine in by myself.When returning, two of the three staff looked at me as I walked in and two looked but no greeting or anything like that. Then a staff member asked if I was wanting to eat inside or outside. I said I wanted to eat in.Wanting a friendly cafe to venture to being a new local. I found yours to look friendly and funky, but your staff are rude, and have no customer service experience from what I saw. Usually a friendly smile is a great approach.Sadly I won’t be back. If I want attitude like that I go shopping at Chadstone, at lest they make eye contact before being rude!

Very tasty and lots of varieties to choose from. Love the coffee and the courtyard. Great staff and a good vibe.

Delicious breakfast, good coffee and friendly staff

Nice Cafe, usual Cafe menus, though I have been there many times, I think their salad, pepper/salt calamari has slipped a bit (my opinion), my friends enjoy their meals. Service ok, except when many there. Baby, kid friendly. Room out back from main dining best for the kids,sheltered and in autumn/ winter they have overhead heaters. Has licence/ wine by glass. Coffee ok.

good coffee, but i asked for a soft boiled egg with toast, which came to me as an overdone poached egg. i had it sent back, only, to receive another poached egg. my friend got the fergus benedict, which came with a potato rosti burnt to a crisp, vinegary poached eggs and a mixed up coffee order. i hate to be that person, but this was just a really disappointing experience. the kitchen staff clearly had a lack of care.

Lovely local little cafe, with friendly staff, cosy! Rear courtyard is spacious, and front bench made it easy to come alone or with a group. All day lunch menu is great for those that want a big start, and specials are always interesting!

Had the mot awful experience here. Were treated like we were sub-human, stared at, ignored and dismissed. Had a booking via website in advance as we were brining children. Friend arrived first and told no booking existed, thats fine, as the place was empty anyway. The man at the counter (im assuming is the owner or at least manager was abrasive and rally just didnt care to assist us. Told kitchen was closed which we were surprised at but were ok with - still standing in the middle of the cafe and not offered seating - said we would still get drinks and then made way to back - coffee was watery, iced coffee warm and kids milkshakes took ages to come out. paid the $36 for the drinks and showed the man the booking confirmation incase there were errors with the website and he was not aware of. The conversation was rude and made me feel awkward. Said thank you as we were leaving and again was just stared at with a disgusted look. Honestly have never been made to feel so unwelcome in my life.You never know what a person may be going through at any given moment - a smile or a polite word wont kill you - be kind

I love it here. Great service and great food.

Came here based on google reviews. Wasnt that good as google reviews showed. Coffee here wasnt my cup of tea.

Amazing food! Friendly service! And French toast amazing!! Will be back for sure!

Great menu and delicious food. A lovely environment with a covered/heated courtyard. Good service too. Would recommend

Horrible coffee and horrible service. Went there for a family breakfast and not one staff member welcomed us and all the staff members looked like there dog just died.. not one smile!! Won’t be coming back here again

Excellent coffee, brunch was nicely seasoned and look amazing! 5 STARS ⭐️ Would recommend to the nan!

Cappuccino okay - too milky for my taste.Had the smashed avo. All right.Notes for next time - try the lunch menu.

This is a great neighbourhood cafe. There is a fantastic spacious covered courtyard that welcomes dogs. The coffee is consistently great and the service is efficient and welcoming. The food is delicious and the menu is tempting. This is a versatile, lovely cafe where you can choose to linger if you wish or have a quick lunch break.

Excellent coffee and staff were lovely! Had a delicious brunch and the atmosphere was amazing.

The coffee is great at Fergus. The menu is well thought out with something to suit everyone. The food itself is top quality, fresh, tasty and presented well. Most importantly, the staff are professional and friendly. Day in day out, these guys have kept their doors open to bring some daily joy to locals in tough times. I encourage anyone who lives in the area to try them out and support them just like they have done their best to look after us.

The coffee wasnt very warm but staff was helpful in remedying it. Food was better than the coffee for sure, but still lacking a bit of flavor, but maybe thats just my palette.

Loved their shakshuka. Very flavourful . Staff are kind and knowledgeable. They split the bill . Dog friendly. Will definitely come back.

Great Cafe, Coffee and Staff. I had the Club Sandwhich. Kids menu was very good too (the kids really liked the kids milk shakes).

I have been here 3 times, twice to get food and once to pick up coffee.When I went there, I got the Burger with fries, which was really yummy, other then the fact that there were an enormous amount of fries served with it, so if you buy that, there is enough to share with friends.The other time I got a muffin, which was as good as muffins can get, which was nice.The only reason why it is 4/5 is that if you were eating the Burger alone, then there would be too many chips to eat, at least thats what I found.

Great coffee n tasty food. One of the best I have ever tried.

Pros- Decent coffee- Great chips that came with the burger- Dogs allowed in the outdoor areCons- Repeatedly asked if ready to order in quick succession.- Wagyu Beef Burger was OK, but not worth the cost. Same with the Mushroom Medley.- Outdoor area vibe was a bit dreary (but this couldve been the cloudy weather, might be nicer when sunny)

Nice food coffee and super friendly team 4.5

Had a great club sandwich here the other day. So many good things on the menu I couldn’t decide what to get, luckily I was helped out by Courtney - what a great employee!I will eat here again

Good brunch place.Ordered caramel latte, and I think the lady was not sure of my order. She gave me a caramel sauce used for milk shakes instead.

The coffee produced in the environment is good, but the portion is a little bit smaller

I was standing at the door at ard 2 minutes and several staff saw me and just standing there ignoring or passing by and no one come to say hello and take me to the table. I had to go to the counter and tell them I have reservation. Not friendly staff and bad dine in experience.

Friendly atmosphere and great rear area for coffee, lunch and cake. Service is spot on and cooked by professional chef. Food looks fantastic. A wonderfully run business. Relaxing and a great place to meet a friend. Highly recommend. Five stars..

If I said you guys were awesome, had beautiful food, lovely staff and an oasis of a courtyard out the back...I would be understating it...Thanks so much for having us..🙏😊

I visited Fergus with some friends for brunch. My strong skinny almond lattes were nice. I won’t comment on the service as this was an invitation.Situated in a bright undercover courtyard this was a great cafe outside and nice and bright inside the cafe facing the street.I tried the Fergus Benedict which was perfectly cooked poached eggs w spinach, grilled bacon, a really yummy hollandaise sauce, on a crispy rosti w fresh apple radish salad.This was a solid dish, the potato rosti was crispy and crunchy.My friends enjoyed their food and some of the dishes looked extremely impressive.

The brunch game at Fergus is strong. The team here has everything down pat – charming service, excellent food and outstanding coffee. With a cute and cosy courtyard, you’ll be hard-pressed not to enjoy your experience here.The Shakshuka is a must order here. Hearty, rich and especially comforting for the colder days ahead. Plenty of chorizo and lamb rosemary sausage makes this an incredibly filling dish, and the piquant sauce is just divine. The lime yoghurt balances out this heavy dish with a subtle citrusy tang, and you’ll find yourself lapping up every last bit of the sauce.The Club Sandwich aims to please. Layers upon layers of fresh and tasty fillings, and the combination of Dijon mustard and tomato relish gave this sanga a sharp and sweet kick. The hot and crunchy chips keeps you coming back for more, and provides a good contrast to the soft and juicy sanga.Simple but effective is the French Toast. Soft and fluffy bread, crushed pistachio, poached pears, mascarpone and maple syrup makes for a wonderful combination of taste and texture. Nutty, with a touch of caramelised sweetness, and so moreish.The Fergus Benedict and Pulled Pork Tacos got the thumbs up from my friends, as did the fantastic coffees. A faultless experience from start to finish.

One of the best places to go to breakfast/lunch. Really friendly staff, good food at a good price, great portion sizes and an easy location to access from public transport. Fergus is one of Malvern East’s best cafes in my opinion would highly recommend. Pictured below is the smashed avo (+ eggon normal and gluten-free bread.

Went here for mums birthday and we were treated very well. A whole big table of siblings with kids and they took care of us.Things to play with for the children (crayons and drawing + word puzzles for the more advancedand lots of yummy food.I thought their coffee was great and the service even better.

Fergus has become our favourite weekend local spot for the very fact that it is fantastic and reliable; the food is great (that mushroom dish, my god), the servings are reasonable and the diverse menu is dietry friendly. The coffee too (both takeaway and in-houseis consistent, the vibe is nice and the staff are some of the loveliest and most accommodating people. Five stars for consistency - Cant fault it.

Gorgeous cafe in East Malvern. I had the mushroom toast here on a busy Monday morning. It was presented beautifully with a great selection of mushrooms. The coffee was good, service was great, I really love the decor relaxed vibe and courtyard at the back. The perfect location for brunch with mates or a small get together with family and friends.

Coffee is quite good, and the food is generally very tasty and well presented. After ordering you don’t have to wait long so the service time is good. Only small thing is a number of times we’ve had a difficult time getting served and somehow had to wait quite a while but others around us were served even though they came in quite a while after us. Otherwise, really nice cafe.

Really interesting menu some nice and different item that you cant find everywhere！Pork belly bao is delicious and the potato rosti is amazing.

Excellent cafe serving consistently coffee. Been here a few times now and its definitely consistent - top quality coffee, food,service. Very popular place too!

On a day when I was lost after a business appointment, I came across this Cafe`, which was under rennovation. I was offered a cup of coffee and a FREE smile. This is obviously a business where they care not only about their service, but their customers too. The shop was spotlessly clean and it was most apparent the owner takes GREAT pride in all his interractions, but is also a friendly man who is caring and compassionate with anyone he meets.

Very nice cafe, good coffee except street parking not very good

friendly and faster service great yummy foodThe backyard is very big and beautifulSuitable for the whole family to eat on weekendsWill definitely come again

The coffee was fantastic, the food excellently presented and it tasted awesome

The food here is good. Its just the staff. Rude. They ignore you. 15 minute wait on a coffee sit down or take away. When we did get our coffees the order was wrong but nothing was done about it so we left.Cutlery we had was dirty. Menu tossed at me when I sat down. Seriously stop hiring moody teenagers and start hiring people that want to be there. Its embarrassing for you guys!By far worst customer experience for a cafe in Melbourne - and Ive given you guys many chances!Just dont bother even trying here.

Disappointing. Hotcakes were so dry, they tasted like they had been cooked days ago. When I pointed this out to the waitress as she cleared my basically untouched plate without asking how it was, she went to the kitchen and came back and asked if I wanted something else. Considering the original wait for the meal I didnt have time for anything else . Upon paying there was no offer of a discount – or even a free coffee. My friends veggie stack was also bland and the coffee watery. Wont waste my time again.

Coffee good. Along with the service . It just wasnt a holy f**k yeah this coffee is good!Limited food options, typical croissant type sandwich stuffs, hipster type slices.Parking to not amazing. On the plus, if youre on public transport, tram stop right out the front.What this place does have, is the most incredible little court yard. Tucked away. You dont even know its there, but it takes you away from the noise of the street.Would I go back??? If I was in the area, maybe, its about the best of the options within a couple of ks...

Love this Cafe and there are many in my area I could choose to go to...but this is by far the best. The coffee is consistently great, the food also with some standard menu items for breakfast and changing seasonal lunch meals. Always tasty and presented well. Super friendly staff and just has a great vibe generally. Lovely outdoor area out back
